| 2020-01-15 |
| [FoxNews] Emily Stallard, 37, was spotted by a security guard roaming the aisles of Walmart in Tampa Bay Saturday evening, Fox 13 reported. After watching Stallard open unpaid items, including flammable materials, projectiles and matches, a security guard called the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and notified an off-duty Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation officer who was inside the store. An arrest report cited by the station says the woman filled a mason jar with fuel, denatured alcohol and nails. She then attempted to light the bomb with a shoelace as a wick before the off-duty officer and security guard stopped her. |

| #1 "mason jar with fuel, denatured alcohol and nails" would field and denatured alcohol really have explosive force to turn the nails into shrapnel? Color me skeptical. I imagine at best she'd get a quick flash that *might* start a fire around the now empty, probably cracked, mason jar filled with nails. |
